He's taken care of 3 vehicles now for me, since relocating back to the state. He's offered rides, despite being swamped in work. Thanks again, Rick?Service: General repairs & maintenance”

“I purchased a 2001 Porsche 911 (996) Carrera Cabriolet in April 2023. While my car only had 19,350 miles on the odometer, I had Ralph's Automotive Service complete a comprehensive maintenance workup on the vehicle. I was impressed most by their thoroughness and transparency throughout the entire process. They offered to have me visit their shop to inspect the worn parts and give authorization before proceeding. They also performed an IMS bearing retrofit, replaced the rear main seal, and installed a new clutch. Since these three services were completed in the same area of the engine they were able to consolidate the labor hours to save me considerable expense. I find the ownership, management, and staff to be highly ethical and professional and strongly recommend them to work on your Porsche. Many thanks to the Ralph's Automotive team for their diligence and hard work breathing new life into my dream car.Service: General repairs & maintenance”

“This is by far the BEST place to get your Mercedes serviced! I received great customer service from Shiela and Ian they were friendly, knowledgeable and explained every detail about my vehicles services. I have been to multiple Mercedes dealerships and had terrible experiences. Coming to Mercedes Specialist was a much better experience than I had expected. They not only looked into the concern regarding a screeching noise when I would turn my tires but they also found the cause of it which was overlooked by multiple Mercedes dealership servicing departments. They are highly reliable and trust worthy! I highly recommend coming to them. I definitely will be coming back for future services!”

“I turned my truck in for multiple services and battery replacement. Everything was done by the end of the day. I love the kind and friendly staff, the efficiency of service and the great quality of workmanship. I will continue to use Hometown Auto Repair for all my vehicle services.”

“Dale is very thorough and very honest he will go out of his way to help you he checks his work after he's done Makes sure everything's right before you leave I highly recommend Dale to anybody that needs transmission service.”

“I have tried 4 different auto shops over my 8yrs in the area and Schnauble is by far the best of the best! Very professional, easy to schedule repairs, super honest and actually showed me what the issue with my tires was, then told me where to get the parts needed for them to address the issue. Honesty is rare in this industry anymore, plus they reached out via text to make sure everything was ok after driving the vehicle a few days, unlike everywhere else who just email and text constantly to give them a review. They never asked me to do anything for them, I cannot recommend them enough!”

“Had to get new brake pads and rotors. They didn't charge for the diagnostic, compared to other shops in Towson that charge $100 or more! Customer service was amicable and clear. The prices were fair and service was quick! Highly recommend, very kind people. :)”

“Redline with the save! I had suspension work done at a previous shop several times, but they couldn't quite get the alignment to where it was necessary for my ride after they installed the parts I needed. No worries. Took my ride to Redline and they were able to diagnose, fix the issue, and explain what happened in a day! Highly recommend!”

“Friendly, honest people that actually have the customer’s best interest in mind. The receptionist was lovely, and the guy who did our inspection (on a very old car that we knew was in rough shape and had low expectations going in) was as honest and straightforward as they come. We asked for an oil change and repairs estimate to get it to pass, but they called us up to tell us that the problems were worse than we thought and the repairs would be beyond the value of the car so they wanted to check with us before proceeding with the oil change so as not to waste our money in case we decided it wasn’t worth it to us to fix it up. They didn’t have to do that, but it was really thoughtful and we did in fact decline the oil change and we went right out that day and bought a new vehicle. We were way overdue anyway, this was just the final push we needed to go through with it. Anything we need in the future we’ll be coming to them for sure, but if you’re wondering if you should trust them, DO IT.

PS - the previous owner did the horrible “repairs” I swear it wasn’t us, we just purchased REALLY rushed and carelessly a couple years ago and noticed everything after it was too late lol.”

“They where the only one that found out what was wrong with my truck, and even come out to Walmart to help when it would not start for me, that is some great customer service.”

“This is the best shop in town. I’ve been a regular customer here for years and have had nothing but good experiences. Recently I made the mistake of taking my car to another place for an oil change because I had a coupon, and the other place told me my car needed $2100 worth of work. I didn’t quite trust that, so I took my car to Caples for a second opinion. Caples said I didn’t need any of the work, saving me $2100! Another time I tried to put air in my tires, but somehow I wound up letting a lot of air out instead, activating the low tire warning. I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. I pulled into Caples at five minutes to close on a Friday and asked if they could help me. They put air in my tires, replaced one of valve stem caps that was messed up, didn’t make me feel like an idiot (even though I deserved it), and didn’t even ask for any money! If you want an honest shop that knows how to treat its customers, go to Caples.”
